See How Covid-19 Affect the Smart Irrigation Market! A Lot to Know About Smart Irrigation Process

Author: Harsh Singla
The smart irrigation process helps in automating the irrigation procedure, reducing the water use, which ultimately reduces the irrigation cost, gives a better understanding of the soil and crop moisture content, provides timely notifications of the abnormalities in soil, and offers good long-term health of the landscape. This automation of irrigation procedures can be supported by building software solutions applicable for agricultural purposes. Through software solutions in the field, agricultural activities can be better monitored and managed. Irrigation software such as Spruce, Rubbicon’s FarmConnect, and Hydrawise also enables controlling of field activities remotely. It can be strategically planned how and when the irrigation has to be undertaken, which would lead to more transparency in the field and increased agricultural and water efficiency. Smart irrigation systems include a complete irrigation setup that can be deployed in a wide range of applications such as residential, sports grounds, landscape, and agriculture, among others. These systems offer end-to-end coverage over processes involved in smart irrigation with components such as sensors, controllers, water flow meters, sprinklers, water pumps, and nozzles, among others. Components are individual hardware and software solutions required in setting up a complete smart irrigation system. These components help in automating the irrigation process that leads to increased irrigational efficiency along with decreased water consumption and wastage. Global Smart Irrigation Market (by Application): Irrigation is the process of supplying adequate amounts of water primarily to agricultural land. The applications of irrigation have increased with time which has led to increased use of water in irrigation. The application section of the global smart irrigation market is divided into agricultural and non-agricultural applications. Global Smart Irrigation Market (by Region): One of the primary drivers for the high growth rate of the global smart irrigation market is the high technological advancement in various regions such as North America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe, along with high emphasis from the governing and regulatory bodies on modern equipment.
